i've recently moved to ms and i am not to sure on where to find a place to get on birthcontrol, my husband is in the military and we have tricare but i want to go to a doctor office of base can anyone help with with whhere i can find a place to go i'm not used to this type thing i always had someone else do this for me and i'm little new at finding doctors and all... help!!!..Obgyns and such?
Call your health insurance provider and ask for the listings of what doctors (particularly gynecologists) accept your insurance. The number or a website even should be on the insurance card you have.
If you don't have insurance, use a phone book.
Just make an appointment through your local MTF(medical treatment facility), they also sometimes have clinics on base that are closer. It'd be free that way! Another option is to find a Planned Parenthood, but you'd likely to have to pay for your birth control. Your best bet is to look for the appointment line's phone number, and make an appointment. It should work if he already enrolled you in DEERS (no idea what that really stands for).
Good luck!
And if you want to see a doctor off base, you should change your Tricare from prime. I think it's Tricare Standard so you can see a doctor off base. That way you don't have to pay all out of pocket for every expense. The only thing is that there's a deductible, so it can get expensive. If you make an appointment to pay in cash off base, you have to pay for the appointment, and anything they do there. So it could come to a lot.
